SUBMISSION
A manuscript should be prepared as described in the Instructions to Authors SUBMITTING MANUSCRIPTS ( (manuscripts not following the required format may be returned)) and checked (see the checklist) thoroughly to make certain that it is complete. The author(s) are responsible for the quality of the language. Poor language, substantial departure from our instructions, and missing or incomplete submission form will result in returning the paper without review.
All submissions must be made electronically (please use Submission to Annales Botanici Fennici to e-mail the files) and must contain:
- the complete manuscript (the text, tables and figures) as printable unprotected PDF file(s),
- submission form (MSWord document, download from HERE); Submissions lacking completed submission forms will not be processed until properly completed forms are submitted.
Submitted files should never be compressed. Filenames should not exceed 12 characters (PLEASE DO NOT USE UNICODE). The information normally given in a cover letter can be place in the body of a message.
In print, an article length should NOT exceed 24 pages(if in range 25–32 please contact our office) . To evaluate how many journal pages can result from a manuscript, please first remove the tables and pictures from the file and then perform character count (including spaces) [in MS Word: select 'Word Count' from 'Tools' menu], and divide the obtained number by 4600 (max. number of characters on one printed page of our journal). Some pages should be added to the result depending on how many figures and tables are in the manuscript.
Only when accepted, an MS Word (.doc or .rtf) file containing the manuscript (text, tables, captions, appendices) and possibly files with the figures should be sent to us by e-mail or on a CD. The author(s) are responsible for the quality of the language. If English is not your mother tongue, make sure that your text is corrected linguistically. Illustrations will not be returned.
